'''Major Pawel Czernek (Ret.)''' is a retired [[UNSC Marine Corps]] infantry commander who served during the [[Human-Covenant War]]. He served in the corps for thirty years, from [[2551]] to [[2581]].<ref name="museum">[[Believe]] campaign, "''[[Museum]]''": "Maj. Pawl Czernek: UNSC (ret.)<br/>active duty: 2551-2581"</ref>

==Interview==
During his retirement, Czernek was interviewed about his experience during the [[Battle of Mombasa]] at the [[Museum of Humanity]]. The shots shown during the interview broadcast are of Czernek viewing a commemorative [[John-117 Monument|diorama]] of the battle and of the diorama itself. At the beginning of the interview, Czernek is shown slowly approaching the diorama with a visible prosthetic in place for an amputated right leg. His leg is assumed to have been lost during the battle.

According to Czernek, during the battle for [[New Mombasa]], Czernek and his unit began to run low on ammo while fighting the [[Covenant]]. He and his unit had to scavenge the ground for any available weapons and ammunition as they waited for support to arrive. Czernek continued fighting with an [[M41 LAAG]] on the back of an overturned [[Warthog]] when [[John-117]] arrived with a primed grenade in his hand.

It should be noted that his testimony is not entirely reliable. While it is possible that Czernek fought in New Mombasa, the specifics of Spartan-117's intervention in the battle are fabricated, possibly by the [[Office of Naval Intelligence|ONI]] in order to cover up the true circumstances surrounding John's disappearance and the end of the war from general public as well as the existence of the [[Forerunner|Forerunners]] and the [[Flood]].

==Trivia==
*In the ''Believe'' diorama, Czernek is possibly the Marine seen on a damaged Warthog several meters from the Hunter from the beginning, since he described himself being in that location during the interview.
*Due to his name and strong accent, it can be assumed Czernek is of Western Slavic descent.
